Hi,
I like Mojcas idea for new typescripts:
%%%%%%%%%%% \startsomenewfonttypescriptcommand [kepler] [width={condensed,semicondensed,*regular,extended}] [size={caption,*regular,subhead,display},switch={10pt,12pt,17pt}] [weight={light,*regular,medium,semibold,*bold,black}] ... %%%%%%%%%%% \switchtofontdimension[width=semicondensed,weight={light,medium}] %%%%%%%%%%%
sure. looks nice, but the outcome is quite unpredictable unless you know the font and that in turn demands some investiation on the users end
That would make different weight/opticals font handling much less cumbersome. At the moment its no fun dealing with weights/opticals.
it will never be fun ... (in most cases one will use suggested combinations and then for odd cases like a section title something special)
I really would appreciate that (or any other easy usable) solution that provides a standardized way to handle weights/opticals with not too much overhead.
given the huge differences in font collections there will never be an easy way with fonts that come in many weights/widths/sizes .. at least I cannot remember a project that I did where any system was present Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
